EXPLANATORY NOTE

Lead Real Estate Co., Ltd is filing this Amendment No. 10 (this “Amendment No. 10”) to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (Registration No. 333-266762), originally filed on August 11, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”), as an exhibit-only filing solely to file an updated consent of BF Borgers CPA PC as Exhibit 23.1. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 10 consists only of the facing page, this explanatory note, Part II of the Registration Statement, the signature pages to the Registration Statement, and the exhibit being filed, and is not intended to amend or delete any part of the Registration Statement except as specifically noted herein.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Article 330 of the Companies Act makes the provisions of Part III, Chapter 2, Section 10 of the Civil Code of Japan applicable to the relationship between us and our directors. Section 10 of the Civil Code, among other things, provides in effect that:

(1)

Any director of a company may demand advance payment of expenses which are considered necessary for the management of the affairs of such company entrusted to him;

(2)

If a director of a company has defrayed any expenses which are considered necessary for the management of the affairs of such company entrusted to him, he may demand reimbursement therefor and interest thereon after the date of payment from such company;

(3)

If a director has assumed an obligation necessary for the management of the affairs of a company entrusted to him, he may require such company to perform it in his place or, if it is not due, to furnish adequate security; and

(4)

If a director, without any fault on his part, sustains damage through the management of the affairs of a company entrusted to him, he may demand compensation therefor from such company.

Pursuant to Article 427, paragraph 1 of the Companies Act and our articles of incorporation, we may enter into an agreement with each of our non-executive directors providing that such director’s liability for damages to us shall be limited to the higher of either the amount we have determined in advance (which shall be not less than JPY1 million) or the amount prescribed by applicable laws and regulations, provided that such director has acted in good faith and without gross negligence.

Further, pursuant to Article 426, paragraph 1 of the Companies Act and our articles of incorporation, we may, by resolution of the board of directors, release any of our directors from liability for damages to us, provided that such director has acted in good faith and without gross negligence to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations.

The form of underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement also provides for indemnification of us and our officers and directors.

ITEM 7.   RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

During the past three years, we have issued the following securities which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). We believe that each of the following issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Regulation D under the Securities Act or pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act regarding transactions not involving a public offering or in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act regarding sales by an issuer in offshore transactions. No underwriters were involved in these issuances of securities.

On March 29, 2021, 1,250 Ordinary Shares were issued to Mr. Eiji Nagahara for an aggregate consideration of JPY100,000,000.

ITEM 8.   EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES.

(a)

Exhibits

See Exhibit Index beginning on page II-3 of this registration statement.

(b)

Financial Statement Schedules

Schedules have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto.

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1)   For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant under Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)   For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
